Surface Rights Board

The Surface Rights Board is a quasi-judicial tribunal that grants right of entry and assists landowners and operators resolve disputes about compensation when operators require access to private land or occupied crown land to develop subsurface resources such as oil, gas, and coal or to build and operate pipelines and power transmission lines.

Land Compensation Board

The Land Compensation Board is a quasi-judicial board established by the Expropriation Act and carries out two distinct roles: to determine compensation payable to landowners and tenants where land has been expropriated by an authority and the parties cannot agree and to determine whether expropriation should proceed when there is an objection.
